Short & Sweet

Now that the temperature is rising, I'm starting to realize how short some of my skirts are! Because I'm petite, I do prefer higher hemlines, but I have to keep it reasonable for work. I bought this floral number from Target a couple of months ago and had never worn it without tights. It wasn't till after my morning haziness subsided that I realized I was showing a little too much leg. Luckily, the elastic waist allowed me to yank it down a few inches till five. Then it went right back up.

May I just say: I adored this outfit the moment I saw it? The perfect florals matched with the perfect thin stripes, lovely. :) I usually prefer higher hemlines as well, but those aren't always apprpriate for classes... woops.

I know exactly what you mean! I'm petite and have really short legs, so I like high waistlines, but I always find skirts to short. I don't know, maybe I'm just a prude, but I think 10cm above the knee is short enough!

Hehe, I know what you mean about short skirts, I'm like, have I grown, I don't remember this being so short? You feel more covered up in tights. I find myself constantly pulling down my skirts at work, too! But I love that you paired this with stripes, I have the same skirt and putting it with a striped shirt is a great idea, thanks!

i love this outfit. love the mix of floral with stripes, and the hair cut of course. isn't it funny when you cut your hair short and then it just keeps getting shorter and shorter?

anyway, i admire your ability to make outfits out of mostly separates. i am a dress girl all the way because they look best on my figure and don't need to be matched with anything, but i really enjoy the way you put different pieces together!
